Who Said That?

 "Fact is, as we continue to study these matters, our conclusions are confirmed again and again. We find more and more evidence of the likelihood that 2011 could well be the end-time year. Thus, we are greatly stimulated to send forth the Gospel so that as many people as possible can hear the Gospel in the shortest possible time.  If this world is still in existence after the end of 2011, we will know that there is still much more we can learn from the Bible. Before that time, or at that time, we surely will receive correction from the Bible concerning any conclusions which prove to be in error."

He's at it again . . .  This comes from Harold Camping's book The Time Is At Hand? (page xxii).  How can anybody still listen to this guy?  He's either a kook, senile or a false prophet.

Sounds like Camping.

but whoever it is, I'd like to see the larger context--just out of curiousity.

>the end of 2012 according to the Mayan prophesies??? Not 2011??

Something about their calendar ending then. I looked at the Wikipedia article on the Mayan calendar -- <i>very</i> complicated system with multiple overlapping cycles.

John Walvoord?

Naw, I thought Camping predicted the end o' the world in 1998 or something

Grasshopper- 2012 is certainly the year quoted all over the internet.

There is a small Christian faction out there in internet land that studies old pagan myths for apologetic reasons. I read some of their stuff a few years ago on flood legends and it is pretty interesting.The way almost every culture all over the earth retained the story of Noah, and some other early OT history, is pretty fascinating. Some of them go so far as to think ancient cultures knew things passed on down from before the flood, both technologically and predictively.

They make a good case from archeology of ancient high technology predating the flood and passed on after....but then to start adopting Mayan dates predicting the end of the world is sure going way too far in my opinion. God's word says we don't know, and to think Noah knew and passed the knowledge on, and the Mayans knew it but not Abraham, Moses, etc, well, no way.

I say all that to say that in a twisted sort of Christian way, based on the presupposition that all cultures came from Noah and their legends contain various truths, that Christians justify this Mayan prediction crap, pardon my greek.

I'll guess Van Impe. He's never seemed to be afraid to set dates and timetables for God.

[Timinator]

I think it is Harlod Camping

Kim Riddlebarger?

the "we" makes me think it's a team so I'll go with Jenkins and Lahaye.

I would say that it comes from Ronald Weinland in his book "2008: God's Final Witness".

Maybe andrew wommack said it :P

Harold Camping...unfortunately the "god" of my aunt. I demanded she stop sending me tapes! I wanted to scream!

[Timothy]

John Walvoord, even though he's been dead for a few years. :)

Actually, he did say in the summer of 1993 that the rapture would occur before any of us, students at DTS, had time for ministry after we graduated. His admonition: we better have ministry before we graduate, because there would be no time after graduation... which, for me was in 1999. Still in ministry today... :)

[Tyler]

Huh, I could'a swore he thought the end was going to come in 1989 or something like that.

[Wayne Rohde]

Camping: I'd say he's a kook AND senile AND a false prophet!

[Alberto]

Wow! Due to the voice I hear on AM radio, I thought Camping would look like an old overweight man. I also pictured him as being bald. Please don't feel offended Dr. Riddlebarger.
